New in this version. Disables `btrfs-send/recv` *for now*...

In my local tests, while merely enabling quotas on the file
system does make the fs measurably slower, it was still
faster than the ext4-raw image (and even faster than ZFS
subvolumes), and while I have no definitive data on this
yet, there *seems* to be a trend towards slower performance
with more space utilization, but that may just be noise as
well...
